  • 0

I have created a Jython app and I would like to distribute it to my friends. I don’t want them to have to install Jython by themselves. They’ll just have Java SE (JRE) installed and I want to pack my application in a way that they will be able to run it just by double clicking on a file. The application is a desktop GUI app.

I was just wondering if I can put my application files in the Jython directory, create a batch file with “java -jar jython.jar myapp.py” and distribute the entire folder. Will that work for all? Why it might fail?

Thanks

    This Jython Wiki page is covers the various distribution options.

    The relevant section is “What’s a really easy way to distribute my app as a single jar?” however, it will require creating a Java wrapper and some JAR file manipulation. With the Jython standalone JAR, you got about an ~8MB file to distribute.
